Well, probably one would need better mtools before that. Also I always wondered what /usr/bin/syslinux (i.e. only the program) actually does. It turns out that apart from checking that it's a dos boot sector it's overwriting and doing heaps of race avoiding with the mounting of the image, it copies the ldlinux.sys, adjust the attrib's and copy the right parts of the boot sector. In any case, for mtools being of any use to things like this, one should be able to override the config in a more controlled way. Maybe I'll file a whishlist bug against it. Cheers Thomas
